Winter Activities … from our 101 Things to Do list.

While many people only think of La Conner – and the Skagit Valley – during spring and summer, winter is an absolutely wonderful season to spend time in our valley! Sure … we’re known for our tulips and daffodils, water & boating and shopping. We’re also well known as one of the Northwest’s premier destination arts communities. But we’re fast becoming a winter getaway for people from around the West and Western Canada. Romance? We’ve got it. Spectacular scenery? Got that, too. Perfect photo opportunities? Yep. What you may not know, however, is that we are a bird watcher’s paradise. And if you like the majesty and intrigue of our fine-feathered friends, we are the day-trip or weekend destination you’ve been looking for.

Here’s a sampling of things you can do in La Conner in the winter. We add to the list all the time, so check out this page often! If you want to check out our whole list, you can do that HERE
